1) Yes, but you will need the rear screen, wiper, loom from an import/P1/22b etc. Not an easy job.
2) When it is raining/damp, to prevent the interior misting up either drive with the drivers side window cracked open 20mm, or use the aircon.

Tried the passenger window bit, but the wife was'nt to impresed getting earache "n" soaking wet on er ev'nin out,I arrive look'in dead smart she look's like she's come on the back of a motorbike!!!
There must be a simpler way than a complete wiring loom,the main problem I see is drilling a hole in the glass.

Mike,
If Deano (the spayer) comes to the meet tomorrow night. have a word with him, last I heard, he had a complete kit to do this, even with a new rear window!!!

Second the Rain-X treatment for the outside and will try Fog-X if I can find it here. Got a real shock on Saturday when it was really chucking it down and I drove into a heated underground car park - those windows misted up REALLY quickly. On the way out I found the best way to get the front de-misted at least, was to blast cold air at it. Could be dangerous the way it mists up so quickly !

I suppose if the rear window were to suffer a stone chip or similar that required it to be replaced you could get your insurance company to replace it with exactly the same unit - ie one WITH a rear wash wipe.........I guess.
